Re: Using query set in views.py

Ok disregard my previous question.

Here's the latest one.

I have the following form in my HTML:

<form method="POST" id="keywordForm" action="/keyword_subscribe/">

<label>Keyword: </label>

<input id="myTextField" type="text" size="50" value="Enter a new keyword for rosebud to crawl!">

Your immediate problem here is that your <input> element has an id, but no name attribute. That is why you are getting None when you try to retrieve it from the POST dictionary -- the browser never sent it to the server.

I'm certain that you have additional issues with your view function, but this is the reason for the error that you are seeing right now.

</br>

<input type="submit" value="Submit" />

</form>

when the user presses the submit button, it will go to the method keyword_subscribe in views.py

The method is as shown:

def keyword_subscribe(request):

    if request.POST:

username = UserProfile.objects.all()

#userid = username.objects.all()

    subscription_days = "7"

new_keyword = request.POST.get('myTextField')

print new_keyword

    new_keyword_subscribed = subscribe_keyword(username,subscription_days,new_keyword)        

                                                

        response = simplejson.dumps({'new_keyword': new_keyword_subscribed})       

print new_keyword_subscribed                                      

    else:

       # html = form.errors.as_ul()

        response = simplejson.dumps({'success':'False'})

return HttpResponseRedirect("/accounts/login/")

    #if request.is_ajax():

     #   return HttpResponse(response, mimetype='application/json')

    #else:

     #   return HttpResponseRedirect("/")

Once in this method, i'm supposed to extract the word which the user entered in the textfield and store it in a variable called new_keyword

However, i've been getting NONE which means there's something wrong somewhere and i do hope someone can help me.

In addition, i would like to get the username which is stored in the UserProfile table in my database to be passed as a parameter to the next function too.

How then do i implement the queryset needed?

This should be clearer. 

Thank you.

Your question is not at all clear. You can use whatever you like in your view. What problem are you having?
